Chapter 426 Visiting the Casino
"East!"
"South!"
"West!"
"north!"
"Big! Big!"
"Small! Small!"
"Pure! Pure!"
"Well……"
I just walked into the "Ding's Gambling House", but a sound like a sound of slaughtering a pig came, which scared Qin Yong very much. There was no way, who told him to suppress him and never entered the casino at all.
When he was in the later society in his previous life, he was a college student with good moral character, so he naturally would not enter the casino. In this life, his father was the most powerful businessman in Yangzhou City. He was a genuine second-generation rich man, so he naturally did not need to enter the casino. Because all the attraction in the casino is basically derived from the magic of money, but he already has countless money in his hands. It can be said that he can't count it, so naturally there is no pursuit of getting rich overnight.
In fact, even Qin Yong has not possessed the dandy young man of the past, in fact, he is not very keen on going to the gambling house to gamble. Because there are many people in the gambling house and there are usually no beauties present, so he naturally does not want to enter often. Instead, he prefers to go to brothels, which is why he has left a romantic reputation in Yangzhou City.
In addition to the sound of killing pigs, two more steps closer, a strong and strange smell came to us, with fishy smell, sweaty smell, and a unique bloody smell on the butcher. Uh, Qin Yong really wanted to ask, is this a gambling house or a refugee slum? How can the smell reach this level?
Looking around, I found that there were about ten tables in it, of different sizes, and each table was surrounded by people, fishermen, butchers, hunters, and a few in uniforms. They were really mixed with fish and dragons. But they all had one identity at this time, that was a gambler, or the kind of gambler who had already been gambled a little crazy.
Looking at their blood-red eyes, shaking flags and shouting, and fighting for life, Qin Yong couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seemed that no matter what era it was, gamblers were of virtue.
"Young boss, are you here?"
At this time, a tall and thin middle-aged man came over and bent over and said to Ding Lei.
Ding Lei nodded, pointed at Qin Yong and said, "Uncle Lu, this is Qin Yong's Master Qin." As he said that, he said to Qin Yong again: "Well, Brother Qin, this is the big shopkeeper of our 'Ding Family Gambling House'."
Casinos all need shopkeepers, and they are divided into dozens of shopkeepers of all sizes. Generally, the main job of these shopkeepers is to serve as a shopkeeper in the casino. However, this shopkeeper Lu is a little different. Because he is the big shopkeeper in charge of the entire "Ding's Gambling House", so basically everything inside, inside, outside, outside, and outside of the "Ding's Gambling House".
Of course, Ding Lei's father Ding Datong was also on his side. However, Manager Lu didn't care much about Ding Lei, the young boss, because Ding Lei rarely appeared in the "Ding's Gambling House" in the past. Moreover, even if he appeared here, he usually didn't care about anything, so in Manager Lu's eyes, Ding Lei naturally had no status.
Of course, although he thought so in his heart, in fact, he is quite good at being a human being, so he will not show it on his face casually. Therefore, Ding Lei didn't know that he, the shopkeeper, actually doesn't value him much.
However, although Manager Lu did not value Ding Lei, the young master, he was more sensitive to the name Qin Yong. So after hearing Ding Lei's introduction, he quickly said, "Qin... Qin Yongyong? Could it be the Young Master Yongyue who wrote "Liang Zhu" and "Du Shiniang's Angry Treasure Box"?"
That's right, this must be another loyal drama fan in "Liang Zhu" or "Du Shiniang's Angry Treasure Box". So Qin Yong also gained money and was still recognized by others when he came here.
"Yes, it's Qin Yong below. I've met Manager Lu!"
Qin Yong hurriedly bowed back and said, "Since he recognized him as the "Young Master Yongyue", he naturally did not dare to put on airs casually. At least he wanted to maintain his image as the "Young Master Yongyue". However, he was quite surprised that Manager Lu knew about him.
Because, there are many people who spread the two operas "Liang Zhu" and "Du Shiniang's Angry Treasure Box" from "Young Yue", but there are relatively fewer people who know that "Young Yue is Qin Yong Yong Yong Yong, and there are so many people in the world named Qin Yong. But, this shopkeeper Lu recognized it at a glance. He is the so-called "Young Yue Yong Yong", so this is really strange.
However, in Ding Lei's opinion, this matter was very easy and tight, because he had already promoted it in his home. He thought that "Young Master Yongyue" Qin Yong, so the shopkeeper Lu, who was in the "Ding Family Gambling House", actually knew it. Therefore, when he heard Ding Lei introduce Qin Yong's name, he immediately realized that this was "Young Master Yongyue".
"Haha, I don't dare to be it, I don't dare to be it! By the way, Mr. Qin came to the gambling house today, but how many games do I have to play?" Manager Lu suddenly said.
Hearing him say this, Ding Lei was slightly stunned, then looked at Manager Lu in surprise, who quickly winked him, so that he could not rest assured.
In fact, his meaning is very simple, that is, their Ding family itself runs a casino, and since the "Young Master Yongyue" does not dislike Ding Lei because of this, it means that he is actually not disgusted with the casino, so it is reasonable to ask him to give it a try at this time. Maybe this can also enhance the friendship between the two people. Anyway, the bet is provided by their "Ding's Casino". If you win or lose, there will be no problem.
"How many games are there? OK. Then Manager Lu will exchange me a hundred taels of silver."
Sure enough, after hearing what Manager Lu said, Qin Yong moved his heart and said. It turned out that he was also caused by itchyness. After all, he had never gambled with anyone in his past and present lives. What he wanted to bet now was not the opportunity to make a lot of money, but the fun in it. As the saying goes, small gambling is fun, big gambling hurts the body. Qin Yong still clearly distinguishes this.
"Haha, Mr. Qin is polite. Mr. Qin is a friend of our young master and the dignified Mr. Yongyue. How can I exchange this little money for me? Well, there is just one hundred taels of chips here, so I can use it to play with you." Manager Lu said.
"Okay, since that's the case, I'm welcome."
Qin Yong was really not polite, so he took the chips directly and took Ding Lei to find a place to be gambling. It turned out that the main reason why he decided to play was to actually experience what kind of gambling methods were in this era? Because only by conducting a field investigation can you make the most correct suggestions.
Qin Yong first walked to the most crowded table and looked at it. It turned out that the table was playing betting, that is, pushing a small stone, and the dealer used a wooden stick to dial out a part. Four and four points, and got the last four, three, two, one, corresponding to the east, south, west, and north respectively. The bettor only needs to put the money in the direction they should have. It couldn't be simpler.
Unexpectedly, this thing is so popular now. Although Qin Yong understood it, he was not interested in betting. So he shook his head and sighed, and slowly walked to the table next to him. As a result, after he got there, he found that there was a deck of square cards on the table. Then, his eyes lit up and he immediately exclaimed: "Paijiu!"
"Uh, Brother Qin, this is a domino."
When Ding Lei heard Qin Yong's cry, he couldn't help but correct him. Although he was ignorant and had no help to the entire "gambling shop", he still understood all kinds of gambling things in this gambling shop. However, what he didn't know was that what Qin Yong said was actually not the same as what he knew.
"Oh? So, this thing is called this name?"
In fact, Qin Yong was not very familiar with gambling, but at least he knew that dice and Paijiu should be two common gambling methods in ancient gambling shops. However, I didn’t expect that in this era, it was not called this name?
But after standing behind the crowd for a while, Qin Yong realized that this "domino" and "Paijiu" are actually not the same thing. Because the gameplay of this "domino" is too simple, it is bigger than the points, and there is not even the Shuangtian Supreme Killing. So, he sighed in his heart and thought, "It seems that this domino should be the predecessor of Paijiu."
"Pure, pure."
Suddenly, he heard a table behind him shouting, so Qin Yong ran over to look at it curiously. The dealer took away the jar that was originally pressed on the table. He thought it would be dice inside, but he didn't expect it to be six copper coins. This was indeed the first time he heard of this thing, and even the first time he saw it. So he couldn't help but ask Ding Lei and said, "Brother Ding, what is this... what is this?"
As a result, Ding Lei showed an unexpected look and said, "Brother Qin, don't you know this?"
"Nonsense, I know I'll ask you?"
Qin Yong rolled his eyes, and Ding Lei's look was too strange. What? I don't know what this thing is. Is it something unreasonable?
How could he know that in fact, the thing in front of him was actually the most popular gambling method in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, as long as anyone who has entered a gambling house will basically know its name and even its rules. Even many people who don’t like gambling know it very much. Relatively speaking, they don’t know that it is even less. Therefore, Ding Lei will show a strange look at Qin Yong.
"Hehe, I thought you were deliberately spending me."
Ding Lei looked at Qin Yong's expression and knew that he was not joking. So after a embarrassed smile, he quickly explained this way of playing to Qin Yong.
It turns out that this thing is called Guanpu, which is the most popular gambling method in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The way to play is also very simple. The back of the copper coins is called "pure", and the front of the copper coins is called "front of the curtain". If all the backs are facing up, it is called "hunzhu".
Gamblers usually bet on a few "pure" basis. If someone bet on "pure", once it is released, it will be ten times the profit. In order to fight for this "pure", many people often make it clean and clean.
"boring."
After hearing Ding Lei's words, Qin Yong gave a comment directly and thought to himself that the gambling methods of "Ding's Gambling House" are indeed not very good. He has seen so many gambling methods, but none of them will attract him to bet with money.
In fact, if there is this, it is really that money misunderstood the "Ding's Gambling House". In fact, the situation is that not only the "Ding's Gambling House", but even other gambling houses in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, most of them only have a few similar gambling methods. In fact, most of the so-called newly invented "gambling methods" are extended and expanded from these basic gambling methods, so the freshness is actually very limited.
"Uh, boring? Then... Brother Qin, do you still watch it?"
Ding Lei was speechless when he heard Qin Yong's comment. So after pausing, he asked Qin Yong directly. Because, he thought in his heart that since Qin Yong said that this was boring words, there would definitely be no reason to continue watching. However, what he didn't expect was that Qin Yong's purpose was not to bet, but to experience the main advantages and disadvantages of their gambling methods in the process of gambling. So, he could see him pausing and saying, "Look. Why don't you not watch? Well, it seems that I have not placed a bet yet. If that's the case, just set a "pure", well, fifty taels!"
Qin Yong didn't even look at it, and threw down fifty taels of chips on the word "Huanchun".
"hiss……"
As a result, his actions immediately attracted a lot of attention from the surroundings. Because, there were not only those who threw fifty taels of silver at one time to gamble, but the number was relatively small. Because, in small gambling houses like "Ding's Gambling House", most of the gamblers were just small merchants, hawkers, fishermen, butchers, hunters, etc. Anyway, there were few princes and sons from wealthy families who would come here to gamble. Therefore, although there were bets of fifty taels of silver at one time, they were relatively few. In particular, at this time, Qin Yong was still on "pure". Although the profits of "pure" were extremely high, the risks were high after all, so the gamblers looked at each other when they saw this scene.
"Uh, Qin... Brother Qin, 'hunchun' is the most rare thing. If you open ten times, you may not be able to open to 'hunchun' once. Are you sure that the last 'hunchun'?"
Ding Lei saw that Qin Yong had just bet "Huanchun". As a result, he thought that Qin Yong had not heard what he had just introduced, so he couldn't help but say a few more words next to him.
However, Qin Yong did not hear his introduction clearly just now. He just wanted to lose the chips as soon as possible because he felt bored. So he bet fifty taels at one time. For the next fifty taels, he planned to wait for a while to see a suitable bet, and then he finished betting again. So after hearing Ding Lei's words, he said, "Confirm, let's get it!"
"Okay, buy it and leave, and you'll open it now."
"Pure!!!"
